A few weeks old but I've only just seen it.
QUOTE Fifa could allow matches at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to be played over three 30-minute periods if temperatures in the stadiums became dangerously high for the players. Michael Beavon, a director of Arup Associates who helped to develop the zero-carbon solar technology that will cool the 12 stadiums, told delegates at the Qatar Infrastructure Conference in London that the air-cooling would maintain a comfortable temperature of around 24 degrees Celsius in the stadiums. "There is a moderate risk of heat injury to the players between 24C-29C but if you go above that you have high and extreme risk of injury. The one thing Fifa do say, although it is for guidance, is if it's 32C they will stop a match and play three 30-minute thirds rather than two 45-minute halves. "The reason would be to re-hydrate the players before they could carry on playing. That of course would play havoc with TV schedules and those kind of things. The commitment from Qatar was to provide conditions in the moderate band, so that matches would go ahead and be played as normal. Matches have to be played at an acceptable temperature and in safety so that Fifa do not intervene." However a Fifa spokesperson told Reuters that such a drastic change to the way the game is not something that was on the governing body's agenda. "This possibility has not been discussed," the spokesperson said. "In any case, this would require a change in the Laws of the Game, and therefore would have to be analysed and approved by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) in the first place." Ummmm... how about give the World Cup to someone else? The fact they've admitted it could be a health risk says it all. |

Let's just completely change the rules of the game because you want money. It really is time to disband from this organisation. |

C'mon. Like all over the world football is only played in countries with temperatures between 24 and 29 degrees.

It sounds like 24-29 isn't the issue. The worrying bit is where it says if temperatures reach 32, then they will consider changing it.
I think there needs to be some proper requirements to host a World Cup. I'm talking about earning the right. Most of the top nations do well because they invest insane amounts into the sport. Giving the World Cup to a nation who've never acheived anything is just not right. Can't qualify for a World Cup? Here's a free ticket to one! |

Just about to post the same thing. He has incredible talent, but I've never seen someone with such a poor attitude. No way he's ever going to last at a club more than a few years.

It's a blessing he isn't our transfer target. Do you guys think it would be possible to change his attitude if he'd be signed by us? My stance always was that Milan wakes the best in every player, but with him I'm very doubtful.

What a fool. He should break a leg or something which would impede him to play football forever. Only then he'd realize how lucky he is and how much he should value his job and get the best out of it.

If Messi wins it again, I'll shoot myself in front of UEFA offices. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/angry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/realmad.gif) Xavi or CRON.

Messi and Ronaldo already won it and probably will win it again in the future. It should go to Xavi - he deserves more recognition.

QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Jul 26 2011, 12:50 AM) Well,...Messi wasn't that bad either. I know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) But I still want it to go to Xavi most definitely. The biggest loser in recent years was Sneijder, that was as good as done deal as any (League, CL, World Cup Final and whatnot), but I guess he should consider himself lucky to have been nominated. Ask Diego Milito how he felt when he was not even shortlisted. I personally don't care for it these days, particularly since they merged FIFA World Player and Golden Ball as one. |
